Unknown Welsh Regiment Badge

[BROOKIES]

Afternoon Kevin.

Just spent an hour or so going through all his photo's and paperwork and come across a similiar photo Gale's Studio Ltd, our boy got his marksmen badge down on his cuff.

Also dug out some other photos and come across an article on the 12th Glam Rifle (what a badge !!!!).

If your e:mail address is the same ill copy them across.

Jonathan,
No change in email address and thank you for taking the time to look through your Father's archive.
I've got some bits I've dug up in the accession items coming up to Brecon from the Castle & City Hall which I'll wing across.

I managed to acquire a very similar badge to that the inquiries about which started this thread, though the version I have has three lugs on the reverse.

A lovely badge and glad I was to find this thread in which Kevin has yet again done the research and found the answer.

Such a shame that I think he still has me blocked as otherwise I could thank him, even if only from a distance of nearly six years.

Thanks anyway Kevin.

I’ve just picked up this silver badge but been aware of the pattern as a friend of mine has had one for a number of years. Both are manufactured by Spurrier & Co and both hallmarked for 1915.
What I’m not sure about is whether they were intended as a cap badge or a sweetheart.
Mine has a brooch pin fitting on the back, albeit it appears to be of a fairly poor quality when compared to the quality of the badge. The other example has lugs, but there are traces of shoulders below the lugs where a previous fitting may have been. However, the brooch fitting on mine would not account for such shoulders remaining if removed.
As such I’m not sure whether these are cap badges or sweethearts.
Hwyl,
Kevin
